New Hampshire Retirement System

New Hampshire Retirement System The New Hampshire Retirement System was established in 1967 as a contributory, public employee defined benefit pension plan.

The New Hampshire Retirement System (NHRS, the retirement system) was established in 1967 as a contributory, public employee defined benefit pension plan qualified under section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (Code) and funded through a trust which is exempt from tax under Code section 501(a). The plan provides lifetime pension benefits that are determined at retirement under formulas prescri

bed by law; the pension benefit is not based on investment returns or contributions. The retirement system provides Service, Early Service, Disability, and Vested Deferred Retirement benefits, as well as pre- and post-retirement death benefits. It also provides a post-retirement Medical Subsidy to eligible members and beneficiaries. NHRS does not provide health insurance for retirees or their beneficiaries. Benefit formulas and eligibility requirements are set by state law (RSA 100-A). The retirement system is also governed by administrative rules, policies adopted by the NHRS Board of Trustees, and the Internal Revenue Code. NHRS benefits are funded by member contributions, employer contributions, and net investment returns. Investment returns have historically provided the bulk of funding for pension benefits.

There are so many benefits from physical activity for seniors. Exercises can be done at home, at the gym, a community pool, or a local center. There are many types of exercises to choose from…and many activities can be modified to fit any limitations. Yoga, walking, and swimming are all low impact and offer a range of benefits for all abilities. Some of the benefits include:

• The reduced risk of falling, which increases the ability to live independently.
• The ability to maintain strength, healthy joints, and muscles.
• It helps to reduce or control blood pressure.
• Reduces the risk of colon cancer and diabetes.
• It can ease the symptoms of anxiety.
• Offers community and companionship when done in groups.
• Reduces and prevents arthritis, joint swelling, and pain.

They say ‘April showers bring May flowers’… have you spotted New Hampshire’s official state flower, the purple lilac? This flower isn’t actually native to New Hampshire. The first purple lilac on record dates back to 1750, when an import from England was planted at the home of Governor Benning Wentworth.
